I wonder if the screen was already cracked and the last drop just expanded the crack

The glass it is not shatter proof, the Xperia Z1 has tempered glass with an ASF (Anti Shatter Film) on top.

I can't see anything in your photo - are you sure it's not just a scrape on the ASF film can sometimes be hard to tell

As for warranty - there is no manufacturers warranty on the planet that covers for accidents, you need extra cover for that - you admitted yourself dropping the phone from 1 foot onto carpet !!   and please don't take offence and I'm not saying it is not true - but do you really expect anyone to actually believe you broke the screen dropping the phone onto a carpet floor ? and never mind from only a height of 12"  seriously ?

and I'm not accusing you of telling porkies I'm simply saying - who is going to believe it

my phone hit a concrete floor hard last night from chest hieght and then got stood on and grinded screen down - it has deep scrapes in the ASF that could easily be confused with cracks

hope you get it sorted
